April 20, 2017 {Simple Woman’s Daybook}

I originally found this post through the Simple Woman’s Daybook in 2009, which has since closed.  It was such a simple and fun thing to do that I haven’t forgotten it though I haven’t done one of these in quite a while.  The concept is a wonderful one.

For Today:
April 20, 2017

Outside my window, the birds are enjoying the Spring blooms.

I am thinking about life’s mysterious ways.

I am thankful for unanswered prayers and answered ones as well.

From my learning, I am finding that becoming more organized with this blog is very important.

From the kitchen, I hear the teapot whistling.

I am wearing leggings and a shirt because I had somewhere to go this morning.

I am creating new posts for the blog and joy with my children each day.

I am going to make changes we need to succeed in life.

I am reading T.I. Lowe’s A Blue Streak Summer, the third book of the Blue Streak Series.

I am hoping that my children enjoy their day.

I am hearing them play throughout the house.

Around the house I have lots of chores to get done.

One of my favorite things: snuggles with Laycie and Jack.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Finish reading A Blue Streak Summer by T.I. Lowe.
Start reading The Shack by Wm. Paul Young.
Set up blog posts for next week.

Finish the movies recorded on TV last week.

A thought to share:
Life doesn’t always happen as we plan.  Sometimes God has better ideas for us to follow.  His guidance never fails us if we are only willing to listen and follow Him.

A quote I like:
“When I hear someone sigh
 ‘Life is hard,’
I am always tempted to ask,
 ‘Compared to what?'”
